Albums sales are a joke nowadays.

 

In the spam of what? 3 months? We have had BG after BG breaking album sales records but noone has caused any buzz or been taken seriously.

I am just- :toofunny3:

Wait, not EXO ending ZB1 like this :clap3:The way we all thought it was going to be the other way around :dies: Like EXO literally ended them in every metric (Sales, streams, digitals) Looks like one groups wa soverhyped while the other was under-hyped :swan:

 

Poor @Somi

 

I stan neither, EXO exceed expectations despite the odds so congrats to them. But undermining a 2M for a DEBUT album is ridiculous :deadbanana2:

people here trying it when they've been consistent million sellers since 2020

resonance (2020) 1m > hot sauce (2021) 1.7m > sticker (2021) 2.2m > glitch mode (2022) 2m > candy (2022) 2m > now istj (2023) 4.1m

 

while seventeen and stray kids jumps were the fishiest (no shade to pluto and all the svt and skz stans here I love both groups)

I mean, they barely even comeback as a group so might as well get individual contacts that benefits them as soloists and could take them to bigger places when they go solo with bigger western labels or labels that offers them good deals

 

and BLACKPINK as a group should remain in YG cause like I said, they only comeback like once every 1.5 years so it will be a win win situation imo

In 1 year Stray Kids got viral in China because of Maniac's trend that got 1,5B views on Douyin and went from selling 60k (Oddinary) to over 1 million on the country for their next albums. 

 

They got a hit on Japan with Case 143 and blew up their popularity on the country to another level to the point they are doing a 8-date Dome Tour in few months and It also impacted on their sales. 

 

They got Oceania and European Distribution for the first time with '5-STAR' and are actually charting 5 weeks on the Top 10 of multiple markets on Europe including Germany and France and still Top 20 of Australia. 

 

Their growth in sales is totally understandable. They are experimenting virality and getting opportunities to reach their already extent public through distribution easier.

Someone should make the graph of the average kpop sale every year...

It probably looks something like this.

These Twitter accounts always report like 69 million preorders but I feel like when the albums are released we very rarely see them translate into bonifide officially reported sales on that scale 

 

someone should do a study

Tell that to those people setting up a group that hasn’t even debuted them up and they will end every bg. So don’t pull the rookie card now :redface: It’s just Karma, and I hope it will humble some of those Stan’s

They were literally releasing on the same day, so it’s normal to compare their stats + people in here were saying they would wash EXO. It’s just karma me thinks

Well thankfully there's tons of transparency about korean sales. :cm:
https://circlechart.kr/page_chart/album.circle?serviceGbn=&termGbn=year&yearTime=1

 

Man I haven't looked at the circle charts for a while, but I hate how they don't combine CD and non CD versions together. I wanna see combined sales :pfff:

 

Also made me realized that ATEEZ'S last release sold 1.5 million and a third of that was from the mini version that just had photocards. Well at least there's less packaging when fans throw out what they don't needm...

this will be SOTY until a RV solo or the group release :gaycat4:

Stray Kids is one of the easiest groups for us to find out where the sales come from cause their album actually chart globally and consistently for weeks :noparty:
